Ladies and gentlemen – the contest is now closed, and we have our winners! Congratulations to Lyal Avery, Owen Clark, Guacira Naves, Stacey Robinsmith, and Michael Zipursky! I’ll be messaging you all on Twitter for details on how to receive your free signed copy of Sociable! (Missed the giveaway? No worries – you can still get your own copy at Amazon and follow me on Twitter for future promotions!)
Last Thursday, Shane Gibson and Stephen Jagger launched their social-media guide book, “Sociable!“, with a huge meetup that had Yaletown’s V Lounge packed from wall to wall. It’s been a week since the event, and now that we’ve all had a chance to chat, let’s see how sociable you really are.
I have five copies of “Sociable!” signed by Shane Gibson to give away. What I propose is that you choose one people you’ve met through social media, and spread some good karma by tweeting about why they’re awesome.
Sounds good? Here are the fine details:
- There are five prizes available. Each prize consists of a free copy of “Sociable!” signed by Shane Gibson and a Starbucks coffee on me.
- In order to be eligible entrants must:
- Tweet about why someone they’ve met on social media is awesome, and include both a #sociable hash tag and a link back to this post in their message.
- Leave a comment at the bottom of this page with their Twitter message and the permalink to said tweet.
- Two winners will be chosen by random draw, and three for the most awesome stories.
- Entries close at 11:59PM PST on February 12th, 2010. Prize winners will be announced on Twitter and jeremylim.ca on February 15th, 2010.
And the legal stuff:
- You must be at least 18 years old to win. The contest is open worldwide, but prizes (especially the coffee) are only available for delivery in the Greater Vancouver Regional District.
- Jeremy Lim shall not be responsible for any damages to the prizes (e.g. instant combustion, meteor strikes, etc.) or delays in transit.

BOOKS ARE THE PAST, shedding light on our social networking future, paperlessly, with paper!
Great idea Jeremy.
Here’s the tweet I just hit up:
“Give props to @FusionPoint as Jeff supports those he knows. #sociable http://ow.ly/15JSa”
Not sure how to include a permalink to the tweet. Check @MichaelZipursky
@Hummingbird604 brought me into the @preventable campaign and is an inspiration to me in real life and on twitter. http://bit.ly/9hI1Rm
Great idea for this contest.
Being true to the essence of social media involves recognizing those who have helped – and continue to help – these channels reach their full potential.
Cathy Browne is a perfect example of this: from her engagement on Twitter, her involvement in the Vancouver social media community, to her contributions to Blog Talk Radio, she exemplifies what’s exciting about social media.
I met Cathy almost exactly a year ago, at the YVR Twestival. To me, her warmth and friendship embodied the Twitter spirit.
I’m fortunate to call her a friend.
